Then I have to grab his 45 pounds and tote him upstairs anyway.<BR/><BR/>I feel your pain. My dog could sog up 3 towels, but he'll only tolerate me getting through 2. Unfortunately, he's had a skin allergy recently that's meant I have to wash him at least weekly.

Bonzi, on the other hand, pretends he doesn't want a bath, but, in the summer, I take three pails of water outside, tell him to stand, and Bonzi will actually stand for 20 minutes until I am finished scrubbing him down and rinsing him off. Then he's off to find his ball for us to throw. When we take him in to town at the Suds 'n Tub place, he isn't impressed with the metal floor, so sings most of the time. I'll bet Princess smells pretty, now!Redbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490627592871916623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-10839314862314246362009-04-02T12:40:00.000-06:002009-04-02T12:40:00.000-06:00Sagan - we had a dog who couldn't swim!

She was a year or so old when we got her, and one hot day, the Rancher threw her into the dugout to cool off, just after he had thrown my golden retriever in. Thor swam happily back to the dock.... Whiskey justlooked at him as she went glug-glug-glug... slowly sinking! Fortunately, he hadn't thrown her very far, so we managed to reach her and drag her out of the water!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-88507464042332844982009-04-02T12:36:00.001-06:002009-04-02T12:36:00.001-06:00dfTerrie - no worries - as long as we have the Pri...dfTerrie - no worries - as long as we have the Princess, we'll keep her safe haven!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-58574283761745587362009-04-02T12:36:00.000-06:002009-04-02T12:36:00.000-06:00Hehehe she looks so unimpressed!

Doesn't like being drenched tho. As to the 4 month old 40-lb puppy, we gave him his first bath a couple of weeks ago, and boy he was shocked that we did such a thing. Geez, he was disgusting. And looks a lot smaller - he's 1/2 malamute and quite furry. Hmmm...

If we don't have it done, she's barfing up hairballs all summer (oh, sorry, were you having breakfast?). And once she's finished, she loves her new summer cut (as ridiculous as it looks). However, we take her to a groomer and pretend we had nothing to do with it.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-17637276321132222222009-04-02T03:58:00.000-06:002009-04-02T03:58:00.000-06:00How cute is the Princess.I, too, giggle at what Il...How cute is the Princess.<BR/>I, too, giggle at what Ill do for the dogs.<BR/><BR/>noncanine lovers just do not get it.<BR/><BR/>:)MizFithttp://www.mizfitonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-54957120214050003312009-04-02T00:33:00.000-06:002009-04-02T00:33:00.000-06:00Our pooch being so close to the ground with his li...Our pooch being so close to the ground with his little skrimpy legs + London weather=DIRTY dirty dog!
